You are right. My pet peeve is that it is now used as a marketing term without actual meeting. Used to be the word smart. Now instead of “buy this smart toaster”, “buy this AI powered toaster”. Sorry if this reply was too verbose for your liking.

Perhaps, we should consider not calling all of them as AI. Machine learning is a useful tool.

Dogs are can be also better at detecting cancer than humans. And dogs tend to hallucinate less

You can use Perplexica instead, which is a self-hosted open source alternative to Perplexity.

If someone is interested in AI search, then there is Perplexica which is a self-hosted open source AI powered search engine. It uses your local LLMs instead of OpenAI servers.

I was referring to this which started it all.

It is a license problem. The license condition of the SDK which is required to build the client app change to limit the usage of it. The new license states that you can only use the Bitwarden SDK for Bitwarden. It is against the Freedoom-0 of the Free Software Foundation. The limitation of English language is that it is hard to differentiate between Free (as in Free bear) and Free (as in Freedoom). Also open source which could mean complaining with FOSS and that source is available. This been unfortunately have been abused before.

The .su domain is still active and the Soviet Union does not exist for more than 30 years now.

And sadly Mozilla is doing the same with the Privacy-Preserving Attribution.

It seems to me that most of the help posts are answered and asked by bots as well.

It started when they changed My Computer to This Computer.

Just take out the battery, oh wait.

There is a file manager app which looks similar to the Windows 11 one, but for Windows 10. It is also free and open source. It called Files

What if I use a Samsung Note 7?

Or EPCOT

Only if you could choose the default container for the new tabs instead having to long press the new tab button and selecting it manually.

recent demo from Microsoft showed how its GPT-4o-powered Copilot assistant could watch the screen to do things like give tips on how to play Minecraft.

And some people still wonders why the dumb phones are getting popular again.

I do see potential room for abuse. Let say someone has the list and contact the members of the list saying that they are from Dell and it is about the computer they purchased. They have all details, spec, address, etc so it believable. Then they tell them to buy some “antivirus” or install some “hot fix” etc. Scammers are already doing this, but it is less convincing.

I would only want the phone to listen when I actually ask it a question, not 24/7.

If the phone does not listen 24/7, then how does it know when you are asking a question? It should discard all information until the wake up word is called in theory. Only way it could work if you have to press a button to start listening to your question. This was the case in the past, however people wanted to ask questions while showering or something since they introduced this “improvement”.

It is super hard to create a new web engine, especially when one company is influencing the web standards and most web developers are only testing against that because of market share. This is why we ended up with four active web engines. In alphabetical order: Blink, Gecko, Goanna, WebKit. Obviously some are related: WebKit started out as the fork of KDE’s KHTML and Blink is the fork of WebKit. Goanna is the fork of the Unified XUL Platform that was forked from Mozilla’s Gecko.
